valiegal : I gained back 2 lbs, my insulin use is now 60% rather than the earlier 33%; still down a third.
I have succumbed to late night snacks but eat lighter lunch and dinner. I recently stopped my Zocor and have less muscle achs. My blood pressure is not home monitored yet, but I may reduce it 50% because it was doubled in January. I asked and was told I still snore ... loudly . I cannot recall the last time i woke up gasping, it was late last year i believe.
I was to a point where i was getting up 5-6 times a night ... a rather sudden increase ... the cure was not less but more water ..... a close to 16 oz drink just before retireing .... up once or twice at the most.
My guess is the water flushes the insulin/sugar byproducts from the kidneys and was not really a prostrate problem.
